Adventures in Tampa, Fl Fast Food Dining

     This is NO joke!  Today in Tampa Steph and I had one of the most "unusual" dining experiences ever.  We went into a chain establishment and I ordered a number 16 and Steph ordered a number 19.
The employee: Ok, a number 16 and a number 18.
Me:  No, a number 16 and a number 19.
Employee:    Ok, a number 16 and a number 17.
Me:  No, a number 16 and a number 19.
Employee:  Ok, a number 15 and a number 18.
Me:  No, a number 16 and a number 19.
Employee:  Ok, a number 15 and a number 18.
Me:  No, a number 16 and a number 19.
Employee:  Ok, a number 15 and a number 21.
(Me in my mind:  For goodness sakes at least stick to the teen numbers.  13 through 19.  At least get the teen right at the end!!!!!!!!)
Me:  No, a number 16 and a number 19.
Employee:  Ok, a number 16 and a number 13.
(Me in my mind:  Please just give me 2 sandwiches wrapped in paper.)
Me:  No, a number 16 and a number 19.
Employee:  Ok, a number 15 and a number 17.
(Me in my mind:  I am just going to start yelling random numbers out.  It can't get any worse.)
Me:  No, a number 16 and a number 19.
Employee:  Ummmmmm  and flapping arms in a snow angel fashion.
Second employee:  What numbers?
Me:  A number 16 and a number 19.
Second employee:  Ok

Second employee to first employee:  I need 2 large cokes for the drive-thru.
First employee:  1 coke and 1 diet Dr. Pepper.

Second employee to first employee:  This food is for the drive-thru and this is for them (pointing at Steph).
First employee:  (Startled that Steph was standing waiting for the food.  He forgot she was there.)  Here's your food.
Second employee to first employee:  That's for the drive-thru.  This other one is for them.

The entire time the employee wasn't talking to us, he was making baskets and baskets of curly fries.  I would bet that restaurant holds the world record for amount of fries used.  Basket after basket of fries in the frier and dumped in the bin.  All for Steph and me and 1 car at the drive-thru.  American business at its best!
